I made this recipe exactly to a "T". While taking the advise of other readers/raters, I too think a full cake mix box is too much. I made the cake recipe as suggested but after cooling cut 1/3 of the baked cake off. Also added fresh, ripe, strawberries now in season, swirled lots of chocolate syrup on top of bananas, pineapple, and strawberries. I also chopped the marichino cherries and sprinkled under the whipped topping along with pecan pieces before the whipped topping. On the topping I dotted with a bit more chocolate syrup (for decoration) and sprinkled with finely chopped pecans. For the team luncheon this was presented on the top, just before serving marichino cherries were stratigically positioned on the top to indicate portions. This cake was such a hit, a dozen people later asked me to make for them again. Bravo!
